Minus the $29 million pay off for just 1-2 weeks of play.

Somehow he will end up on the Dodgers Mets Yanks and just take off again. Plus, no trading in the AL Central...and nobody in the Sisters of the Poor Division can afford him anyway.

Based on 2000/2023?...we saw how well that worked with Cease, who had even more of a track record of at least answering the bell to take the field.

Unfortunately Getz can't be done with him...or should have just taken the best offer at the end of ST.

McGuire not on the Twins.

Damn the Mets for not resigning Bader lol. Well there's always the Knights/Barons/W-S.

Correa's first hit of the season.

Man, the NL West just gets tougher and tougher with the exception of Colorado... https://www.mlb.com/video/wandy-peralta-in-play-out-s-to-jhonkensy-noel?q=Jose Iglesias&cp=CMS_FIRST&qt=FREETEXT&p=0

Can't even hear the remaining "crowd" on the radio feed. Apparently upper deck closed. 3 1/2 hour delay.

Robert off to a disappointing start. Should be a very fast game at least.

Don't forget Correa...

Maybe don't speed up Buxton's bat with a slider... 1-0 Now we can start a new streak of starting pitchers giving up runs lol.

Schiffren has lost the benefit of the doubt with his repeated gaffes...just like when Dan Quayle misspelled potato, there's no way to now get back the good will of hardcore fans used to Benetti and Harrelson who loved both baseball AND the Sox.

Not a TJ Friedl fan? Have yourself a week, Jackson Merrill...

https://www.mlb.com/news/kristian-campbell-red-sox-contract Former fourth rounder turned Top Ten prospect Kristian Campbell signs an 8 year deal worth at least $60 million guaranteed with the Red Sox. Rich get richer...

Even modern managers go with these weird hunches. Unless there's some glaring reason to believe more balls will be hit to RF against Burke in this weather...

Taylor has the stronger arm but it's not a distinct advantage. It's not like their success against Lopez comes in more than just 3-5 career at bats. Maybe Taylor has lost a step or two athletically. But the lineup overall has been woeful against Lopez. Whereas nobody on the Twins has faced Burke.

Why acquire Taylor to replace Robert in CF when they could have had Jankowski for league minimum?

Well...everyone getting their shots in on Musk these days, but it didn't come across well. If he mentioned Blue Sky was his go to source even more controversy lol.

Jankowski and Taylor the only ones to hit Lopez career-wise. Maton hot hand I guess.

Says the rain is going to continue for two more hours...

Not helping CHSN in their goal of selling more advertising, that's for sure.

WestEddy won't like this...9 year extension to Jackson Merrill The extension, which will guarantee Merrill $135 million, according to a source, will begin next season and run through the 2034 campaign. The deal also includes a club option for 2035. Merrill and the Padres will discuss the deal in a 9:30 a.m. PT press conference that can be streamed live on MLB.com. https://www.mlb.com/news/jackson-merrill-padres-extension Back to seven $100+ million deals Tatis Machado Bogaerts Merrill Cronenworth Darvish Musgrove (out for year with TJ) "But but but, I was told the Padres exec's didn't know how to run a team by the know-it-all's at gaslampball.com? But for real, yes this will likely be one of the best contracts in the history of MLB assuming he progresses like we think he will. $20 million a year (if he reaches max potential) for a player in his absolute prime bringing in likely $40 - $50 million + worth of value a year. Top brass masterclass."

Looks like Bryce Elder's going to be the first man up...to replace Lopez in the starting rotation. Is expected to miss at least 2-3 months.
